HP AdvanceStack Hub-16U, Installation And Reference Manual

Page: 27 / 70

You can connect up to 30 hubs together on a common ThinLAN segment.
The ThinLAN segment can include a computer attached to a hub at one end
of the segment that can communicate with a computer attached to another
hub at the other end of the segment. By using the BNC port on the module,
the maximum repeater hop-count increment through the entire segment is
only two. The following illustration shows you how to connect three hubs
together from one ThinLAN port to another.

Each ThinLAN cable segment must be terminated using a 50-ohm
terminator at each end. In the illustration above, a 50-ohm terminator is
placed at each end of the cable segment.
